The No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs defeated the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines 51-45 in a College Football Playoff semifinal game on Saturday in Glendale, Ariz., but not without controversy.
Two critical calls went against the Wolverines, potentially altering the outcome of the game.
Early in the second quarter, Michigan defensive back Rod Moore intercepted TCU quarterback Max Duggan at the Michigan 49 yard line with his team down 14-3. The very next play Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy fired a 49-yard bomb down the field to his wide receiver Roman Wilson. It was initially called a touchdown.
Nevertheless, after review Wilson was called down on the half-yard line. On the ensuing play, Michigan running back Kalel Mullings fumbled and the ball was recovered by TCU’s Bud Clark
in the end zone for a touchback.
